Spyware, viruses, trojans, adware, and all other bad stuff - learn how to effectively remove threats. If you like to help people, and would like to help other users get their computers clean - then you should do it!

Learning how to fight malware is important, because those who are trained know how to fix a person's computer without damaging it in the process.

The training is steady, but it does take several months to complete (6-9 months). It can be hard from time to time, but those who are willing to research and put good time in will feel rewarded and get the training done.

How long does the application process take.

Usually just until Dragon gets online, he does the processing.

We have had a large amount of applications lately. I am trying to add them in ASAP.

think that I would like to join but I am still in process of trying to make all of the bad stuff go away - with your help hopefully that will be soon - thanks for all of the help - much appreciated

Would love to join up if possible. Just wanted to ask do we need to get any programs like spyware doctor & malware for this the paid version or will the free version do ? because i have McAfee but for some reason still managed to get 32 viruses on my computer just 2 were trojan but removed them with the free version of malware.

THANK YOU cannot wait to start to learn how to help me clean my own computer if it goes wrong & THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN THIS COS CAN COST ALOT FOR THIS SORT OF COURSE

You do not need to pay for anything.

For personal use free versions are fine.

All the tools you'll come across in your training are free and you will use these same tools to help other people.

Oh that's great thank you for replying so fast

JENZO

I use to have Avira Anti Vir on my old computer if i put it on this will it effect my other anti virus ones i have if so i would prefer Avira Anti Vir because on last comp i had did not have many problems if i did it done the job well

i have MBMA ,SPYWARE DOCTOR, also have HIJACK THIS but that should be ok ?

Thank You
JENZO

I personally like Avira Anti Vir and have installed it on many machines that never get infected. Including my three at home.

MBAM and HijackThis are on demand scanners so will not conflict with Avira.
Unless you have the paid version of Spyware Doctor I would remove it as it doesn't actually remove anything without you first buying it - my personal opinion so the choice is yours.

What Firewall are you running?

ok i will uninstall spydoctor i saw that unless you buy it it dont remove anything . My Firewall is the windows one or should i use the one that is on McAfee ?

Mcafee/Norton both suck for firewall product, they are just too big for a low end system, and other firewalls like Zonealarm are giving in to the Ask Toolbar....

I recommend Tall Emu's Online Armour

It's very light on the system and doesn't hog your CPU.

oh great so i paid for McAfee and its not worth it WELL should know that after finding 32 viruses on my computer lol so i uninstall McAfee then put on the one you have advised me to

THANK YOU Belahzur

JENZO

Nah, don't waste your money, make use of what you have. It's just for me, personal experience tells me Mcafee stil has several problems they need to sort out.

So is Click Here
Online Armor Free 4.0.0.15 worth payin for the whole program not just the free part because you get spyware & malware with full version ? or should i just keep up with the free stuff that you and E-mu have told me to get for my computer ? HOPE NOT TAKING to much of your time on this cos others have more problems than me i know so thanks guys
